Congrats Paul. Coalberner is right about it being in idle. I've been heating my 2200 sq ft house this season with a 520. It's running barely above idle (4 teeth) on the coldest day. This is the warmest our house has ever been and probably the least amount of money I've ever spent on heat. You're gonna love your 520.
